    <dd>The classification properties serve to classify elements and select which
        layout models will be used in their display. In the visual media formatting
        model, an element's rendering is based heavily upon, among other things,
        the positioning method specified (floating, positioned or normal flow
        positioning) and the classification type of the element's box (the 'display'
        property.)
